When
I ponder the history of the heroes of the faith – Moses confronting
the Pharaoh, David confronting Goliath, Gideon and his small army
of 300 standing against the oppressive Midianites and King Hezekiah
confronted with Sennacherib (the king of Assyria) – I remember
that the odds were set against them. When observing their circumstances,
I see they had every reason in the world to think that defeat was
on the horizon.

In
America, we can look back to our forefathers, namely all 56 signers,
and we know the odds were set against them as well. Our small colonial
army was fighting against a tyrant who had the strongest military
in the world – a tyrant who was opposing them at every turn,
even willing to send foreign mercenaries to destroy their families
as they were set to steal away everything that rightfully belonged
to them.

In
the present, similar circumstances surround the American people on
a daily basis. We the People are confronted with assaults to our foundations
– both biblically and constitutionally – not from an enemy
without, but an enemy within.

With
every true-life scenario before us, I have noticed the direction these
courageous men and women took without fail. They always set their
face toward heaven, and they called upon the God of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob in Jesus’ name. Because they were willing to meet
God on His terms (Isaiah 66:2) and were prepared to fight for their
rights, God answered them mightily (1 Timothy 1:18-19).

Case
in point: I came across the following statistics, which lay out my
premise perfectly:

•
During the Revolutionary War, only 3 percent of the people actually
fought against Great Britain.• Only 10 percent of the citizens actively
supported that 3 percent.• Approximately 20 percent considered themselves
to be on the side of the Revolution, but they did not actively participate.• Toward the climatic end of the war, approximately
30 percent actually fought on the side of the British.• The rest of the citizens had no disposition
either way. They didn’t care. They didn’t want anything
to do with what they deemed to simply be a political issue.

Our
founders and our biblical heroes are a great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews
12) that God is willing to answer us if we are willing to take Him
at His word, “appeal to Heaven” and claim that there is
“no king but King Jesus” in America. These were the mottos
of the Revolution, and they must be our mottos today if we want to
see the same victorious results.

As
Martin Luther King Jr. rightly stated, “When people get caught
up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for
it, there is no stopping point short of victory.”
